Democratising core exposures for European investors

Lower total expense ratios across our range

Over time, we have reduced total expense ratios across a number of funds as part of a long term commitment to accessibility. These changes are driven by our global scale and innovative approach, and reflect a commitment to sharing efficiencies with investors in a sustainable way. By working closely with our partners across the distribution ecosystem, we seek to support the democratisation of access to investment products, and therefore broader participation in markets, while maintaining a long term, responsible approach to investing. Below is a summary of the funds impacted.
